I listen to metalcore, and so does _ALOT_ of other people as well.

Of course I can see theres a world of difference talent wise between the mentioned. But I still prefer Nickelback to Nirvana, that's just my choice.
Its no surprise then, that Somebody who prefers Nickelback to Nirvana. Would also use the ridiculous analogy, of comparing the hate that metalcore receives, to that of the far more serious matter of racism.

Not all metal is technically good either. One of the most influential metal groups of all time Venom were very poor musicians, but are considered a major influence on both thrash and extreme metal genres, probably making them one of the most influential metal groups of all time.
